Not Sir William's breeding; Mrs. Bennet's manners Written by Lucy Jean (1/12/2004 2:28 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Society families and Sir William Lucas, penned by Diana

] I think the problem with her comment on good breeding is that Sir William Lucas had been in trade before receiving his knighthood, and so therefore was not bred as a gentleman.

I think the problem was that she wasn't half so interested in complimenting Sir William as in insulting Mr. Darcy.
